Ok, I'll give it to you. the transcon Y experience on B6 is probably better than that on AA's 762 (or any AA plane for that matter).

Transcon Y is NOT where the money is.

Its in F or J. Something B6 doesn't offer. Why does AA fly JFK-LAX 10 times a day (not 16)? Because there is lucrative demand for the 40 F and J seats at the pointy end of the plane. PERIOD.

Just because you think flying transcons are boring doesn't mean an airline should abandon them
